Biography
Amy grew up in Minnesota on one of the Ten-Thousand lakes that state is known for. She loves ice skating, playing hockey, fishing and boating..you know all the things you do when a lake is in your backyard. At the age of thirty, she decided she had enough of the brutal winters and moved to Salt Lake City for a few years before heading a little further west to Las Vegas in 2012.
Amy attended High School and Technical College in Minnesota and spent many years in the HomeCare and Hospice fields. Geriatric and End of Life care were a huge part of her healthcare experience and passion which helped mold her into the person she is today.
Once relocating to Las Vegas she found Northwest Career College and began attending classes in Medical Assisting and Phlebotomy, receiving her Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) Diploma and Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) Certifications. She has experience working In Cardiology, Family Practice as well as Geriatrics.
Being an alumni of Northwest Career College she understands how greatly these programs can change a students life and she will forever be grateful to be a part of that journey with the students.
She loves to travel as much as possible and hopes to someday travel the country in an RV with her husband and dog. Evenually finding the perfect place to live part-time either in the mountains or near the beach in San Diego and the other part of time in Las Vegas. Future GOALS!!!!
